Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Don't forget to stock up on hollow points. Breaking their oath to the Constitution is going to have some repercussions

Feds wear body armor. Hollow points greatly decrease penetration power.

checks instance name

So there was a show called The Unit. Decent show. Not great but lots of action. It has Dennis Haybert.

Anyway, there is an episode where they (the delta team) has to secure the president who was running away from a highly armored militia.

His words: head and groin

Again, the show is decent. Recommend a watch to those who are into shows like that.

This reply isn't related to this thread but just randomly came to mind.

Only if the shooter aims at the body

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You should also aim for the body (with your rifle) because, as a real person, your name isn't John Wick.

what are you talking about. I maxed all the head shot perks.

[–] techclothes@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if a person with a mouse connected to a robotic arm with a gun would be good at getting head shots.

need some open source project for a firmware to control aim a turret with a mouse.

Preferably a whole contraption that can be assembled with accessible parts
